One Step Closer

I have a very special love for photos and journaling. I really enjoy spending hours upon hours laying on my belly propped up on my arms, floating in the middle of the carpet surrounded by stock paper, buttons, scissors,stickers, glue, ribbons.. hundreds of pens and photos. Listening to music, bobbing my head to the beat and tapping my toes in the air. I don't mind that the glitter sticks to every inch of my exposed skin or the occasional paper cut either. I love making journals. I like to sit down and turn through the pages, getting lost in all the bright and happy memories I've shared with the ones I love the most. Letting the good over shadow the very little bad I've gone through and just remembering why I love my family & friends so damn much. That's why I was so excited to finally get all of my photos off my phone and onto disks, so that I may soon journal them. A whole year's worth of photos, very well over a thousand photos. And silly me, I figured twenty minutes in CVS transferring them from phone to a single disk was all it was going to take. Realistically it was over an hour, involved seven disks and a very seemingly annoyed cashier. I giggle thinking about that hour I spent joking around, talking with my very good friend Angela and how I wish I had some pictures of THAT! It's almost time to wipe clean my memory in my phone so I can start with a new slate and whole 'nother year worth of great memories..

as for the pictures I now have on seven shiny cd's.. I can't wait to put them in my book! marking more chapters of my life ;)
